load a .swf into level 2 at a specific x and y point?

[hezaa]

Is it possible to load a .swf at a specific x and y point ? The movie I am loading is loading onto level 2, but I would like it to be positioned at x=30 and y=40.

Thanks!

on(rollOver) {
loadMovie("filemenuonly.swf",2)
}

The correct syntax would be...

on(rollOver) {
loadMovieNum("filemenuonly.swf",2)
}

You can't really & easily position a movie on another level, until it's fully loaded, so the easiest is really to pre-position the "to be loaded" movie itself by adding the following in it's own first frame...

Thus on the filemenuonly.fla's first frame...

this._x=30;
this._y=40;

load it into a movieclip, like you would a jpeg, then move the movieclip to the correct position.

nb - loadMovie, loadMovieNum and layers in general are out-dataed now. they still work, but there are better ways of doing all these things
